Google released and enhanced version of gcc-4.2.1 plus their local
patches for Android[1].
The patches are owned by Google and the license hasn't been changed
from the original GPLv2. We are only bringing a subset of the
available patches that may be helpful in FreeBSD. Changes specific
to android are not included.

__COUNTER__ allows one to obtain incrementing (read: unique) numbers
from the C preprocesor. This is useful when implementing things like a
robust implementation of CTASSERT(), which currently fails when using
it more than once on a single line of code. Probably not likely to cause
any breakage, but still.
__COUNTER__ was also added to GCC 4.3, but since that implementation is
GPLv3 licensed, I took the liberty of implementing it without looking at
any upstream sources. Therefore, this version is licensed under the same
license as the rest of the code; GPLv2.
